About Blur Info: Redact Photos & PDF
Blur Info hides personal details in screenshots, photos and PDFs before you share them. It reads the page on your iPhone, outlines phone numbers, emails, ID, card and account numbers, and lets you cover them in a tap. Nothing is uploaded, ever.
FINDS IT FOR YOU
• An on-device scan reads English, Malay and Chinese text, down to the fine print
• Spots emails, phone numbers, links, addresses, ID numbers, card and account numbers, license plates, labeled names, faces, QR codes and barcodes
• Review the list, uncheck false alarms and redact the rest, or tap any outline to cover just that one
• Nothing is covered until you say so
HIDES IT PROPERLY
• Solid black redaction boxes
• Blur and pixelate that can't be guessed back. Ordinary blur smudges the hidden text itself, so it can be matched. Blur Info swaps the inside of the box for a nearby patch of the picture first, so nothing of the original is left
• Tap a line of text to cover exactly that line
• Erase: paint over a watermark, logo or stamp to remove it
• Low, Medium or High intensity for blur and pixelate
• Highlight, underline, strike through, draw and add text
• Undo and redo every step
MARKS A COPY FOR ONE USE
• Write "For tenancy application only", or any purpose, across every page of a copy
• Handy when a landlord, employer or agency asks for a copy of your ID, payslip or bank statement: the marked copy can't be reused for anything else
• The mark comes in 15 languages, picked from your phone's language
SHARES ONLY WHAT YOU MEAN TO
• The export review shows exactly what will be shared and flags detected items nobody has checked
• Every export is a flattened copy: hidden content is gone, not just layered on top
• Location and camera details are removed from exported images, and PDF creation details are wiped
• Your original is never changed
• Save to Photos or share to any app
WORKS WITH
• Photos, the camera, Files and PDFs
• Right from the Share button in Photos, Files and other apps, without opening Blur Info first
• Join several screenshots of a long chat or receipt into one image, then hide what's private
• iPhone and iPad
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Everything happens on your device. Blur Info has no server and works offline
• No account, no ads, no analytics, no tracking
• Open documents are hidden from the App Switcher
Free: save or share 3 files a day and open PDFs up to 30 pages. Blur Info Plus (yearly or one-time purchase) removes both limits.
